Purdue proves concept of using nano-materials for drug discovery

Researchers at Purdue University have built and demonstrated a prototype for a new class of miniature devices to study synthetic cell membranes in an effort to speed the discovery of new drugs for a variety of diseases, including cancer. The researchers created a chip about one centimeter square that holds thousands of tiny vessels sitting on top of a material that contains numerous pores...

UCLA scientists store materials in cells natural vaults

In the realm of nanotechnology, or study of the tiny, scientists often aim to safely deliver and leave material in the human body without causing harm. A big challenge is how to design a package for this biomaterial that will be compatible with living cells and will not provoke an immune reaction. Previous efforts have relied upon viruses or artificial chemicals to house and deliver drugs or othe...

Researchers Find New Technique To Identify Fetal Genetic Material From Amniotic Fluid

A preliminary report suggests that cell-free fetal messenger RNA (ribonucleic acid) can be extracted from amniotic fluid (fluid around the fetus), and then be analyzed to study gene expression changes that may reflect the well-being of the fetus, according to a paper in the February 16 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on medical applications of biotechnology. In background information in the...

Engineers improve plastic's potential for use in implants by linking it to biological material

Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have found a way to modify a plastic to anchor molecules that promote nerve regeneration, blood vessel growth or other biological processes. In the study led by Dr. Christine Schmidt, the researchers identified a piece of protein from among a billion candidates that could perform the unusual feat of attaching to polypyrrole, a synthetic polym...

FDA approves first medical device using rutgers biomaterial

Rutgers scientists and TyRx Pharma, Inc., have announced the Food and Drug Administration's clearance of a new medical device for hernia repair that incorporates a biodegradable technology developed at the university. This action signals a paradigm shift in the application of biomaterials from permanent prosthetic replacements toward regenerative medicine, in which materials help the body to repa...

UW scientists study strange material with communications potential

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are taking another look at some long-held ideas about physics. For one, the Doppler effect. That's what scientists call the way sounds change as you speed toward and away from them. On a highway, for example, a jackhammer or a siren will sound higher pitched as you approach and lower after you drive past. But there's an invers...

New contact lens materials

According to researchers at the Southeastern Medical College at Dallas report that contact lenses, both rigid and soft, made from new hyper-oxygen transmissible materials are expected to reduce the possibility of bacterial infection better than contact lenses which are available now. Based in part on these findings, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved hyper-oxygen tra...

Microbicides could serve to materialise women empowerment in the years to come

Microbicides are a broad range of user-controlled products that would help women protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS.// It can be developed in any form that is convenient to use such as a gel, cream, film or suppository. These microbicides will enable women to negotiate condom use or to abandon partners who put them at risk and would also help avoid unwa...

Heparin Based Nanoscale Materials Developed For Dialysis Treatment

In what can be called as a breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology, researchers have been successful in engineering nanoscale biomaterials, using heparin//, an anticoagulant. These blood compatible could revolutionize medical treatments, including dialysis, a routine form of treatment for renal failure patients. Furthermore, these medical devices could have numerous diagnostic a...

NBA To Distribute HIV/AIDS Materials In China

Lowering Contrast Material Injection in Aged Patients is Cost-effective and can Offset Risks

A new study has found that it is better to alter the dosage of senior patients undergoing multi-detector CT examination of the pancreas //and biliary region, by bringing it down by 10%. This would lower the cost of the examination as well as the risk of complications. This study was conducted by the Department of Technical Radiology at Nagoya University School of Health Science in Nagoya,...
